Paranormal Romances
« Thread Started on Jul 25, 2008, 8:36pm »
What are some of the paranormal romances that you love?

I adore so many, from the humerous (MaryJanice Davidson's Queen Betsy Series) to the darker and grittier Patricia Briggs - Mercy Thompson series.

Katie MacAlister is another light hearted series, but she's starting to get on my nerves a bit.

How about Charlaine Harris -
Sookie Stackhouse Series? Anyone read these?

I've read everything you've mentioned there except for Queen Betsy. A friend recommended it to me a while ago, so I'll probably be reading that...someday.

What annoys you about Aisling? Should I continue to read the series?

The only titles that come to mind right now are 'Succubus Blues', Nocturne City(which is probably more urban fantasy than paranormal romance) and Rachel Caine's series about djinn. I can't say that I adored them, though. On the YA side, I've read the first three Night World books. One and three bored me; the second one was excellent, with a practical heroine who does not fall in love with the hero immediately.

I was just doing a re-read of ALL of Katies book and realized that she writes all of her female characters the same. No matter what series.

I like Ailsling well enough - I just don't like this new series (The Silver Dragon's).

I don't know if you've read Vampire Acdademy or Frostbite, I loved those YA books. Also, City of Ashes and City of Bones is another series worth reading.

I'll definitely have to try one. Which would you most highly recommend?

I forgot to mention Kelley Armstrong and Lilith Saintcrow. Japhrimel gets on my nerves, though.

Blu, I'll have to recommend Lisa Jane Smith's 'Daughters of Darkness'. It reminds me of 'Twilight', only Mary-Lynette is far less passive than Bella is. Also, Ash has a better sense of humor than Edward does.

You're better off asking Dianne, I think. I don't read many paranormal romances.

I haven't read the Vampire Academy ones. I'll have to try those, then.
